Sber: Online platform of business mentors (previously SberUnity)

2020

Completion of work

Sberbank's online platform of business mentors completed its work in 2020. In accordance with the decision of the Board of Sberbank, the name Sber Unity since 2021 is a different product - the marketplace of a startup ecosystem sber-unity.ru.

Start of SberUnity

On April 14, 2020, Sberbank announced the unification of the Russian market on the platform of business mentors and launched SberUnity, an anti-crisis support project for small and medium-sized businesses. The goal of the project is to help entrepreneurs in finding solutions and transforming business from offline to online.

SberUnity for small and medium-sized businesses - an online platform on which entrepreneurs from various industries from all regions of Russia will be able to receive advice from professional business mentors or independently find solutions for their business. On average, each mentor has more than 2000 consultations, experience in conducting his own projects and developing more than 300 companies of different scales. In a crisis, mentors are ready to share knowledge and experience for free, help entrepreneurs look for solutions to scale and promote business. Also available on the site are free training materials that will help entrepreneurs at all levels of online transformation - from finding an idea to organizing remote work in a team.

To pass the competition for free online consultation, just fill out the form on the site. Selected companies will receive 60 minutes of consultation for free, during which mentors will conduct business diagnostics, answer questions and offer a set of measures to optimize processes.

Also, webinars will be regularly held on the platform with successful entrepreneurs who managed to rebuild their business during the crisis, as well as representatives of the Sberbank ecosystem who have prepared anti-crisis solutions for business.

Small and medium-sized businesses face unprecedented challenges and must respond quickly to current realities in order to survive and create additional opportunities for themselves. Now is the right time to rethink (and possibly revise) the business model and key processes. Sberbank has gained positive experience in cooperation with business mentors on the creation and development of startups within our accelerators. And we managed to gather communities from top mentors in Russia, who, uniting, will try to help entrepreneurs quickly adapt to the crisis and take a different look at their business, said Lev Khasis, First Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Sberbank

The anti-crisis platform for small and medium-sized businesses SberUnity available to entrepreneurs from April 14, 2020.
